Flem and Throwing up



Recommended Posts

I haven't had a fill since December of 2014 and now I am getting lots and lots of flem and throwing up. I am even throwing up in my sleep. Getting worried here. Not to long after I eat I have to go running to the bathroom. Mostly its just flem that comes up but lots of times I am throwing up food too. I am belching alot too. I don't eat that much, I keep it to small meals, my saucer is my dinner plate. I try to eat good and healthy but not always. I go back to the Dr on the 6th of July and am thinking of asking him to take some liquid out of the band to see if this helps. This even happens drinking Water or tea.

I would not wait until July 6th. What you are experiencing does not sound normal. Please see if you can get in asap and have an xray of your band's placement. If nothing has changed in your eating habits, and all of the sudden you are sliming and throwing up, especially in your sleep, thing's are not right with your band.

Please get this checked, and let us know what they find.

@@verna2197 I agree with @@parisshel please do not wait. It is not par for the course to start slimming and vomiting out of no where especially in your sleep.

ok finally got in to the Dr, he was away National Guard. Called the office crying trying to get in to see him but they told me was gone for the Army I begged them to get me in with someone else who could help me, office staff told me that no one covers my Drs patients while he was gone. I was so darn miserable. So I got in there yesterday and told him what was going on, he asked me why I waited so long to come and see him. I then explained about me calling and what the front desk told me. He was so mad, he said that was not true that any of the Drs in his office could have helped me. I feel so sorry for the front office there cause he was getting geared up for a big chew out. Anyway took out 1cc of liquid and its like instant relief. I can now eat, drink and no throwing up. Asked him what happened, since my last fill was in Dec 2014 and this is July 2015. He said more than likely I had eaten something that must have inflamed my stomach and then it swelled up and that made my band tighter. I don't care anymore, all I care about is now I am no longer throwing up, no flem and I can eat and drink. I go back in a month and if all the symptoms are gone this I can get more cc if not then I will have to go and get a swallow test done? Not sure what that is but it don't sound good. Thank you everyone for you answers.

Thanks for letting us know that you've had a good outcome!

I likened my unfill (for similar symtoms) to the effect Drano has on a drain. You really can feel the stuff all the sudden unblocking. Sweet relief!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
